Fluxus Hostel

We liked the set up of the room which was very spacious. This way we did not feel like we were sitting on top of each other and it felt more comfortable when sharing the room with strangers. It was in a good location as well.

I got bitten by bed bugs on my second night in the hostel. When I told the receptionist in the morning she insisted that there could not have been bed bugs as they change the bedding between each guest. She did however move me to a different bed. Later that day when a new guest checked in and was allocated my old bed he was then advised "not to worry, we found three bed bugs in this bed this morning but all of the bedding has been changed so you should be fine" or something along those lines. It was only by chance that I overheard this exchange and immediately spoke to the guy on duty who confirmed that yes, bed bugs had been found. No one apologised to me that I had in fact been right about the bed bugs which were extremely clear to see as they covered by left arm and the left side of my face. I was happy that they changed my bed but was not satisfied with how after discovering that I had been right about the bed bugs, that they did not tell me or offer any kind of explanation or apology. This was quite disappointing because my friend and I otherwise loved staying at the Fluxus and found that aside from the bed bugs, it was by far the best hostel we had stayed in during our travels. Overall loved my stay, but think that situation could have been handled differently given that bed bugs are pretty bag for the reputation of a hostel.

Location was excellent for a short walk into town. The kitchen was great, with everything you need for prepping your own food. Washers and driers available for a small fee. Member of staff was super helpful after I botched the booking by selecting the wrong dates. She solved it all really quickly! :)

The mattresses and pillows were a little bit uncomfortable. One shower and one toilet between the 16 or so beds, but it didn't ever present itself as a problem as everyone was very respectful of eachother's space/privacy

I really liked location, hostel is situated in the center of the city, 20 minutes from the bus station, very comfortable. Rooms are big, beds are comfortable. I like high cells and big spaces in apartment.

I had shower in my room, so all guests were walking through the room to use it. And to use a toilet I need to go through another room
